Wow that charity aspect of the park makes this already one of my favorite parks even though I haven't been there. I never knew about it, but it's awesome that this park is donating to charity

It’s always heartwarming when an amusement park operates for good purposes. You can have so much fun while contributing to a good deed.

Linnunrata eXtra now has VR and you can choose between three different movies. Not the best VR coaster I’ve been in, but it was certainly enjoyable this way. Taiga is one of the best coasters I know, I rode it five times. Such a thrilling ride! The wooden coaster is not very thrilling, but I liked it because of the history, the breakman and the smell of the wood and tar. It felt like going back in time for a while. The spinning coaster didn’t spin a lot the first time I rode it, but the second time it did, and that made it so much more fun!

I love Linnanmäki! It was my home park when I was a child, and I still try to visit the park at least once every year. I haven't been able to visit the park yet this year, but I hope I can make it to the Light Carnival this October. Great review!

The charity aspect makes me want to go here so badly to support them

Fun fact: certain rides used to have English names, but they were all renamed in 2004. Here are a few examples: Space Express -> Linnunrata Polyp -> Mustekala Space Shot -> Raketti City Express -> Pikajuna Viking -> Viikinkilaiva Dragon -> Lohikäärme

The old Vuoristorata (RollerCoaster) can be more intense than described here. I haven't been riding it for years but it used to be "main attraction" (at least in my opinion). Maybe the breakmen are more conservative nowadays but as a kid I remember riding it over and over. One time I rode at the back right in front of the break man and I was launched to a standing up position as I was putting my arms up! Yikes! But I think there can be quite a difference between breakmen, at least it used to have.

I'm glad to see attention brought to my home amusement park. These were my first kiddie and thrill rides ever so this place has special place in my heart. A great review with good points all around. Also I loved hearing your mispronounciations of finnish words but i'm glad you tried

Great review! I learned so much!

I saw this park last week, but wasn’t able to go unfortunately because we were on a cruise and I wanted to see Helsinki instead

Awesome review!

Your description of the rides you got on Vuoristorata just makes me sad. I have joked with friends before that the lift hill is the fastest portion of the coaster, but rides that bad are rare. In the back you usually get floater on all the drops, and pops of ejector on the small hills next to the station. Front gets very little on the big drops, but also has the best airtime moment on the bunny hill next to the station. On the best rides you can get a full second or two of true airtime - no restraints while you butt leaves the seat. The very best rides can rival Taiga, but the breakman really has to let it loose. I would personally consider those a once in a lifetime experience, as I have gotten one of those in my ~30 visits to the park. I have personally noted that you get better rides when the park is less busy, which might have to do with the amount of trains they are using. With three trains they take it slowly to make sure that they don't reach the next block before the train ahead has left. With two trains they can go as fast as they want with no worries. This is just my theory though, so take it with a grain of salt.

This park looks awesome especially because of the charity

Excellent 😊😊😊❤️❤️

This reminds me of Liseberg, Tivoli Gardens and Elitch Gardens in the sense that they're all located in a big downtown city. It's also the exact opposite of SeaWorld San Antonio. While that park has a lot of space but not a lot of rides, this one has a lot of rides but not a lot of space.

Rest in pieces to the rare Huss booster they removed

Nice old park with some nice old coasters. There Intamin Blitz sure does stand out Vuoristorata looks really really solid as well for its age.

It sounds like the Finnish Grona Lund or Tivoli Gardens, but I had no idea about that charitable aspect.

Great video! Can’t wait for you to review six flags over Texas

Nice vid.

Without a doubt my most anticipated park left in Europa/North America.

Last year when i went on vuoristorata i almost flew out of the front seat. Seems like you just got a bad brakeman.

cool

some trivia, Linnanmäki translates to "the hill of the castle" Salama = Lightning Linnunrata = the milky way Pikajuna = express train vuoristorata = rollercoaster

It is a good park. If I'm in the neighborhood when the weather is good I will probably go back to this park again. The rollercoaster collection wasn't that impressive, almost every ride was short but they have a very unique collection. Taiga alone was worth the trip tho.

great review! do you think you could do a trip that includes the UK in 2022?

I thought most scenic railway coasters had the breakman stand in the middle of the train, so the fact that he has to stand at the back might have something to do with why it's conservatively run. But I could be wrong.

That yellow coaster is Called Ukko, I believe, the head creator god in the Kalevala

Actually, i visited Linnanmäki just the other week. If you ever go to Linnanmäki, i higly recommend Taiga, it feels scary but after it ends, it turns out to be to your fav roller coaster

'This is a rare scenic railway that still operates with a brakeman on-board' isn't it a dream to ride a rollercoaster all day for your job!

before you could have these vr glasses on the linnunrata that let you select a view in which the ride would be in

Did you ride the Top Spin

How large is an acre?

Haha ''Pikahuna''
